No flying until 6.1 means Blizzard loses that many months' worth of subscription fees from me. On top of however long the slack bastards take to get WoD out the door. Could be up to 12 months from now that we can take to Draenor's skies.

I don't get why people are playing WoW to fly around the game. You aren't playing if all you do is fly. If you are however killing, crafting, doing dungeons, PvP and whatnot you aren't even using your flying mounts so why would it matter if they aren't available directly?

It's a quality of life issue. You don't play to fly, but you don't play to waste your time using a much slower method of travel, either. And, if and only if the game were limited to doing dungeons, and pvp then flying would be a non issue. Flying for crafting essentially speeds up collecting mats, which otherwise take many, many times as long. ESPECIALLY if you have to run through 10s of mobs for every single node.

It's going to be hilarious when all of you who aren't subscribing until 6.1 come back only to find out that you have to spend several weeks on a mini-legendary quest-line to get flying when everyone else can fly on patch day. I will be endlessly amused.

Probably.

But for me no flying until 6.1 means that the Anzu mount from the Deluxe edition will be a huge let down. You'll get a flying mount that can't fly.

No flying till 6.1 means...
... Nothing really. Content can suck hard or be a fantastic experience wether it allows for flyin or not. Examples, zul drak, howling fjords. Great zones built for non flying mounts. Or icecrown, storm peaks, great zones built for flying mounts.

So yeh. Hopefully the content will be quality stuff...
Valley of four winds, uldum... They suck both on ground and on flying mount.

Considering how rarely I actually leave town other than going to raid instances, I'm not sure I'd really notice the difference. It'll be exactly like going to ToT: flight path most of the way, then ride for a minute.

Means more subscriptions will most likely be permanently removed. Personally I still believe even if people are too blind to realize it now (just like they were prior to the Heroics fiasco, prior to the dailies fiasco), the sub losses will hit so hard months before 6.1 that I'll be surprised if the patch doesn't have to be rushed... again.
